How did the 1815 eruption of Tambora in Indonesia indirectly lead to the first widespread cholera epidemic?单项选择题

A

Aerosols from Tambora caused intense rains across much of Eurasia that caused a blight to grow on grains that contaminated food supplies.

B

Climate change due to Tambora aerosols caused a drought in India that indirectly led to an outbreak of cholera that then circled the globe.

C

Crop failures across Europe and the upheaval of the Napoleonic wars led to widespread starvation that made people vulnerable to cholera.

D

High sulfur concentrations in the surrounding water supplies led to an outbreak of cholera in Indonesia that was spread by ships to other areas.

E

Food scarcity and the unusually cold conditions that followed the eruption weakened the health of those in poverty, allowing cholera to spread.
